(25/04/12) and Resources Committee of Council (02/04/12). It was noted that: The five-year rolling plan, which would be updated at least annually, provided disaggregated information on QABS, GB and International student numbers; The University’s MaSN had been fully allocated, with only a margin of 130 retained, leaving no room for overshoots; The Plan included steady growth for all Faculties with the exception of Social Sciences, which, in the main, reflected the transfer of Economics to the UBS; Given the potential for severe financial penalties for MaSN overshoots, the Admissions Monitoring Group would be keeping a close watch on offers and conversion numbers over the next few months. Mr Mulvenna advised that the INCA system would be closed at the end of the week and, thereafter, the information input by Faculties would be used to determine 2012/13 and subsequent Faculty Financial Statements and resourcing decisions. 12.55 TERMS OF REFERENCE AND MEMBERSHIP (ADEC/12/23) The Committee reviewed the Terms of Reference and Membership for the 2012/13 academic year and agreed that no changes to the Terms of Reference were required.
